Goodwood Festival of Speed: Show report

Every year the Earl of March's annual motor sport bash seems to swell in terms of size and ambition, and the 2010 event was no exception.

Thousands of visitors will converge on Goodwood this weekend fully expecting to enjoy the very best the automotive world has to offer. They will not leave disappointed.

No other occasion manages to draw together the disparate threads of a global industry together with the warmth and old school charm of the Festival of Speed. The convivial atmosphere often makes it feel like an English garden party cut with engine noise and aviation fuel.
